Look at: "info ls"
(that is info on "list directory contents").

However, in general Linux (as does Unix) keeps the:

  C time (change time of inode info),
  M time (when the file was modified, and 
  A time  (when files was last accessed).

However, neither Linux  nor Unix keep the file creation time
as information which is frozen.

The C, M and A times start out being the same as the
file creation time.  But they change depending on what happens.
(The C time changes when the "user",
"group", or other inode meta-data changes.)

If you want the creation date account of each user
the best wasy would be to setup some log file
and make sure your log file does not get "file rotated."

In some old RedHat systems you could look in 

   /var/log/security.

where you could find when each User file was created.

However, in SuSE (and probbably RedHat too)
because the User's password data could end up in the clear
the system tends not to keep this info by user.

Or if it does, I don't know where:(

Hope this helps,
Gar
